DEMOLISHED EMBASSY BUILDING: NIGERIA TO RESOLVE SPAT WITH GHANA DIPLOMATICALLY

The Presidency says the Federal Republic of #Nigeria will follow diplomatic means with #Ghana in addressing the recent demolition of some apartments in the Nigerian embassy in Accra.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, told State House Correspondent on Wednesday in Abuja that Ghana and Nigeria will not engage in a physical combat to resolve the issue.

“The President of Ghana has called and regretted the action and apologised to the President of Nigeria. I think he has shown leadership in the matter and what should Nigeria do; these are two leading countries in West Africa...Shehu said.

“Nigeria will not engage in a street fight with Ghana. This cannot happen. So, the two leaders, especially President #MuhammaduBuhari, who is much respected in Africa, they all call him ‘Baba’ (Father), so he is bound to show restraint.”

 “Matters such as this when they arise, it is always better when they arise, they should be resolved diplomatically. No, there shouldn’t be a fight between Nigeria and Ghana, this will not happen.” He added.

You will recall that President Nana Akufo-Addo of Ghana had on Tuesday telephoned President Muhammadu Buhari, to tender his country’s unreserved apologies for #demolition of a building on the premises of #Nigerian High Commission in #Accra, Ghana.  

Akufo-Addo had informed President Buhari that he has directed full investigation into the incident, just as he confirmed that two suspects have been arrested.
